Maikel de BakkerLess is more.
A quiet sunset sky, no sun in sight—just a smooth gradient shifting from deep blue into warm orange and red. In the top left, a final phase of the Moon watches over the scene. Two airplanes cross paths, their contrails forming a subtle “X” across the sky. Nothing extraordinary on its own… but together, a composition that simply feels right.
Moments like this remind me that photography isn’t always about rare subjects. Sometimes it’s about seeing alignment—light, timing, and geometry coming together for just a second.
A small scientific note: there is no true “dark side” of the Moon. The far side receives just as much sunlight as the side we see. It only appears hidden because the Moon is tidally locked to Earth. Interestingly, that far side is far more heavily cratered due to its greater exposure.
Captured with my Canon 5DS R and Sigma 24–70 Art, 47mm, f/2.8, 1/500 sec, ISO 320.
Photography, after all, is just another way of studying light and life.
